Technical Sales Representative

About the Role

Industrial Air Technology is seeking a Technical Sales Representative to support customers across the Nebraska territory. In this role, you will partner with buyers to understand their needs and translate technical requirements into practical solutions that provide custom solutions to meet customer needs.

Success looks like building strong customer relationships, effectively communicating technical value, and consistently advancing opportunities from discovery through proposal and close-while representing the company with professionalism, integrity, and a solutions-focused mindset.

Travel is typically day travel, with overnight travel 1-2 times per month. This role is work from home, with travel to customer sites as necessary.

This position is filling an existing role in an established territory. Candidates will not be expected to build a new territory from the ground up.

• Present technical and commercial proposals clearly, addressing questions and aligning solutions to customer priorities.
• Maintain and update customer records, opportunity pipelines, and relevant documentation in CRM and sales systems.
• Coordinate product demonstrations, evaluations, and follow-ups to support informed buying decisions.
• Manage the full sales cycle, including lead qualification, needs assessment, proposal, negotiation, and close.
• Track performance metrics and forecast sales activity to support territory planning and growth goals.
• Provide ongoing customer support by monitoring post-sale needs and facilitating timely internal handoffs.
• Stay current on product capabilities, technical specifications, and integration approaches to improve solution quality.

• Strong communication skills, including the ability to present and explain technical concepts professionally.
• Excellent organization and follow-through, with the ability to manage multiple opportunities in a territory.
• Customer-focused mindset with inclusive, respectful collaboration across diverse stakeholders.

Benefits

• Health insurance options (medical, dental, and vision) for eligible employees.
• Paid time off (PTO) and holiday pay, where applicable.
